             CONCURRENT RESOLUTION OF THE SENATE AND ASSEMBLY
 
 proposing an amendment to section 18 of article 7 of  the  constitution,
   in  relation  to  providing  for  payment of bonuses to members of the
   armed forces from this state for service  during  the  period  of  the
   Korean war
 
   Section 1. Resolved (if the Assembly concur), That section 18 of arti-
 cle 7 of the constitution be amended to read as follows:
   §  18. (A) The legislature may authorize by law the creation of a debt
 or debts of the state to provide for the payment of a bonus to each male
 and female member of the armed forces of the United States, still in the
 armed forces, or separated or discharged under honorable conditions, for
 service while on active duty with the armed forces at  any  time  during
 the  period  from  December  seventh,  nineteen hundred forty-one to and
 including September second, nineteen hundred forty-five, who was a resi-
 dent of this state for a period of at least six months immediately prior
 to his or her enlistment, induction or call  to  active  duty.  The  law
 authorizing  the  creation of the debt shall provide for payment of such
 bonus to the next of kin of each male and female  member  of  the  armed
 forces  who,  having  been  a resident of this state for a period of six
 months immediately prior to his or her enlistment, induction or call  to
 active  duty,  died  while  on active duty at any time during the period
 from December seventh,  nineteen  hundred  forty-one  to  and  including
 September  second,  nineteen  hundred  forty-five;  or who died while on
 active duty subsequent to September second, nineteen hundred forty-five,
 or after his or her separation or discharge under honorable  conditions,
 prior to receiving payment of such bonus. An apportionment of the moneys
 on the basis of the periods and places of service of such members of the
 armed forces shall be provided by general laws.
   (B) THE LEGISLATURE MAY ALSO AUTHORIZE THE CREATION OF A DEBT OR DEBTS
 OF  THE  STATE  TO  PROVIDE  FOR THE PAYMENT OF A BONUS TO EACH MALE AND
 FEMALE MEMBER OF THE ARMED FORCES OF THE UNITED  STATES,  STILL  IN  THE
 ARMED FORCES, OR SEPARATED OR DISCHARGED UNDER HONORABLE CONDITIONS, FOR
